Abstract

This study looks at eight female student leaders enrolled at a large, coeducational, public research institution in the Midwest, who are also executive board members in on-campus organizations. The authors utilized interviews and self-assessments to identify perceived leadership competencies in these female positional leaders, who serve in single- and mixed-gender campus organizations, and further correlate the results with the Social Change Model of Leadership. The authors identified similarities and differences in competency, including stronger internal motivation among mixed-gender organization women and more efforts towards collaboration among women in single-gender organizations.
